So I am almost exactly 5 months post op. I'm back to eating about half the amount I used to, no reflux no matter what, so that's good... But my stomach hurts at some point almost every day. Two months ago my doc said it should subside and if in two months it doesn't come back. So I am going back, but *** man! I can't win. Is this normal? Sometimes I get random morning nausea, or grumbling, and burning /pain. Sometimes it's more the intestines area than up where the stomach is... I still can't burp, and coffee /alcohol seem to irritate it. I just don't understand why my stomach is having all these issues and the wrap is healed and no reflux. Does anyone know if this is normal this many months later?

yes, unfortunately. the after effect of this op, sometimes are not pleasant. at 28 months, I still battle random nausea, which passes, but its there. I still get, upper chest pain but I know its from gas, and it passes as well. coffee was easy for me, alcohol. took many tries, and about, 6 months to tolerate a glass of wine. you will find your new normal, some will be good, and others, you learn to tolerate. I can now, pretty much eat anything, [not near what I could] and even tolerate a beer. the info we get from doctors, and surgeons, is pretty slack. hang in there.

Everything that you are experiencing is very normal. You need to get a script for anti-nausea drug, I use Zofran - still use it 3.5 years later as I still get waves of nausea for no reason. I lost the ability to belch and vomit, post surgery. Everyone is different, have you tried an anti-gas medication? If caffeine and alcohol are irritants, just temporarily discontinue drinking them and try again at a later time. I started feeling better at around 6 months, and my "new normal" at around 1 year.
